>> good morning, everyone, it's sunday, december 9th, i'm alisyn camerota. thanks for joining us. there are only 23 days left before we dive over the fiscal cliff. republicans say we can avoid it. the president says he has a different plan. the the president doesn't want an agreement or compromise, he wants to get his way. >> what happens if the president does get his way? we'll explore that. >> hello i'm mike in for dave. apparently such a thing as a free lunch. 30 million dollars of your tax dollars were supposed to help kids affected by superstorm sandy. instead all of new york's kids are eating for free.

>> clayton: do you think this 90-year-old statue is offensive? take a look at the screen, offensive. a man basically standing on a woman. some people's rights groups do and they're trying to get rid of it. we'll explain. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ >> straighten up your socks, mike. >> pulling up the socks, a long four hours. >> alisyn: and get dressed before the show? >> hoyt hoist them up. mike jerrick is in for dave. >> hi, everybody. >> clayton: and get the heisman trophy winner and dave was so jealous, he didn't get so see john am i manziel. >> and freshman. >> alisyn: a lot from women and-- >> and coming up in half an

hour, the six presents you did not want to get for someone. ali is going to give you a cautionary tale. >> alisyn: and what's happening at this hour, overnight u.s. special forces operations, killing seven taliban insurgents during the rescue a kidnapped american, near the afghanistan-pakistan border, the doctor a freeman after being captured by the taliban at a medical clinic. the top commander in afghanistan, john allen, praised the forces who successfully carried out this operation. one week after the jovan belcher tragedy, an another player is dead and blame his friend. they say he was driving drunk and allegedly speeding, car hit the curb and flipped,

skidded. and linebacker jerry brown was taken to a hospital and he was pronounced dead. who says no such thing as a free lunch? is the federal government giving new york schools to 30 million dollars to help school lunches and it's supposed to help hurricane sandy and it's spent on kids. the program leaves out long island and new jersey children. clayton? >> let's talk football. >> alisyn: let's do it. >> clayton: i am. it was billed as america's game yesterday. the army-navy showdown a classic. vice-president biden gets things underway with a coin toss and navy would open up the scoring, not to be outdone, army comes right back, and the quarterback with the 11 yard up the middle keeper there. and just out to the fourth. and navy down three, they go

ahead with four minutes to go. and then two minutes left and as if things weren't tight enough. army with the winning score and they hand off and navy recovers with a 17-13 win and so broken up, crying, he had to be consoled by four star general, and navy has now beaten army. and you thought that college football was over for the year. >> what a great event. i live in phillies and friday nights in the city is filled with people and army thought they had it, but 11 straight. >> clayton: come on, army. let's check in with maria in for rick. >> good morning, everyone, we'll see a big shift in the weather pattern we've seen the last several weeks, very mild across the country and temperatures above average and enjoying basically very mild conditions for late fall and also early december, but a

reality check is in store for many of us, out west and across portions of the upper midwest and air from canada is going to dip downward and we're seeing the novell. and current temperatures starting to feel the impact. and 21 right now in denver, 8 degrees in rapid city and 30 over in minneapolis and of course the cool air will continue to expand eastward across the plains and further east as we head into basically next week. and high temperatures only 15 for your high over in rapid city and 32 over in minneapolis and 22 degrees in the city of denver and feeling very cold out here. as i mentioned we have snowfall and a large area of rainfall to the east of us and further off towards the ohio valley, tennessee valley and lower mississippi valley and further south we actually have a risk to see severe storms and damaging winds are possible and isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

and temperatures are cold enough for snow, seeing that minneapolis, north and south dakota and blizzard warnings for some of the areas and we're talking wind gusts over 40 miles per hour possible so white out conditions, dangerous travel conditions across the the region and keep it in mind throughout the rest of today and blizzard warnings in effect. >> and ali's 40 miles per hour wind. >> alisyn: a pleasant thought. what's happening in 23 days from now, that of course is the fiscal cliff. it was disheartening to hear john boehner come out yesterday and say we are nowhere near any sort of progress or any sort of outcome. >> we have been talking. >> clayton: we have been having lunch, haven't been talking to the other side. and look we have the countdown clock, 23 days. and republicans are basically saying, look, the president doesn't want to do this, doesn't want to have an agreement. the president though is saying, look, we can get this done. let's listen to the president

first. >> when all of this, bypassing a law that prevents a tax like on the first $250,000 of everybody's income, that means 90% of americans and 97% of small businesses wouldn't see their income taxes go up by a single dime and even the wealthiest americans would get a tax cut on the first $250 of their income and families everywhere would enjoy some peace of mind. >> see, the thing is here, republicans think that the president doesn't want to do anything. at the end of the day, if the president dogs nothing, the bush tax cuts expire. by negotiating. it's almost he has less of a chance by not doing everything he gets what he wants. >> alisyn: he has the upper hand in this because he wants taxes to go up. >> a tax cut is not a tax cut at all, we extend, we extend. there is a difference there. >> right. >> like you were saying,

clayton, representative randy forbes, i guess kind of well, leading the way and saying the president doesn't want an agreement and well, listen to him. >> the president doesn't really want to get an agreement or a compromise. he wants to get his way. and that's why he won't come to the table with any serious proposal and simply talk because i think if we do that. we can get a solution that everybody could live with. we're willing it sit down and negotiate and talk about the ideas and principles, where is the senate and where is the president. and sitting at the table the senate and president are missing in action. >> alisyn: it's the president's address this weekend where i heard him sound the most definitive. he sounds like he will not budge on that $250,000 line for families and for businesses. there is he been a the lot of talk, will he raise it to a million. >> half a million. >> half a million? he said on this i am not willing to budge. >> and he has an election to back him up and polls to back

him up. the polls show 6 5% of americans go ahead and tax the rich. >> clayton: and questions whether we'd go back to the clinton era, 37 somewhere? at the end of the day the point what mr. forbes was saying, if the president does nothing, yes, the taxes go back up to those previous rates and also, defense gets cuts. forget about, we're not talking see questions station much, b -- sequestration? >> did you see what's happening in california, maybe that should be a barometer. tax increases in the state of california and raise revenue and look at the revenues have not gone up. >> a lot of republicans see california and americans, many democrats see california as a cautionary tale. what california has done and interesting and got then them ooh into a pickle. they have the battle

initiatives where voters can go in themselves and vote for what they want and these all cost money. >> it all costs money. >> yeah, this is a mistake of california, right? since the late 70's, when these ballot provisions started going through, yes, you had a number of them. i was out there when was unfoldi unfolding, a number passed and californias voted to increase their own sales tax to pay for things, finally. >> yes, by the way, they also then voted to tax the highest wage earners more.and what ended up happening in some cases was that a significant number of the richest people moved, they left. >> to nevada. >> they moved to texas. >> arizona. >> alisyn: to avoid. it's harder if you're an american to move if you don't like the tax rate that's going to go up. if you're in california you could move next door, but people say it's a cautionary tale and marco rubio talked

about this equation in his saturday address. >> we must reform our uncertainty job killing tax code by getting rid of unjustified loopholes, but our goal should be again rating new tax revenue not new taxes. >> clayton: we like things fast. >> and do you do this during christmas shopping, buying something for yourself. >> clayton: all the time. >> alisyn: all the time. >> clayton: i find way to pay myself back first. >> a study came out and said impulse buying costs all of us about $200 per month. >> clayton: what kind of impulses, i'm thinking of stuff at the checkout aisle. i need gum. and i need to buy some candle votives, suddenly. >> people buy clothing and shoes. >> women do that, and the study finds mostly. and i know the feeling, you go out shopping for somebody, wait a minute, this fur vest is on sale?

i suddenly need one. last weekend we had a kids segment on the show, remember that? we had almost like the netflix for kids toy, and the-- >> yes. >> clayton: they had a neat magnet set for kids and i looked at it and went on amazon during the show and bought it for my son. >> alisyn: the toys, 21% say the impulse buying, toys for kids. >> what about the tech stuff? don't do you that? >> i feel like, well, yeah, i do. >> alisyn: do you impulse buy? >> you search. >> clayton: i want to test it out before i buy, but what gets me checkout aisle and standing there, grab a bottle of water here at the checkout aisle and buy that pack of gun and need energizer batteries for the flashlight i never use. >> alisyn: this is the important part of the story, 71% of the people who do impulse buy regret it, they have buyers remorse. i don't know if there's a lesson for our country and lawmakers in terms of impulse

buying and thinking these things out, but maybe there's a connection. >> coming up on the show, send this in. do you agree with the impulse buys and have you bought one this holiday season. >> it's your constitutional right, but could the white house use recent take aways to own a gun? >> then, have you ever been the victim after regift like this one we're about to show you? >> and no. >> wait a minute, this and the other gift no-nos you should be aware of before you do your christmas shopping. you'll have to explain this. >> the label baby, jr. >> she regifted a label maker, watley. the label baby, jr. ♪ [ male announcer ] this december, remember --

>> welcome back everybody. it's the gun debate back in the spotlight after the incident to push for increased gun control. something that president obama insists he'll tackle in the second term. joining us now is emily miller from the washington times. welcome to "fox & friends" on this sunday. >> thanks for having me, mike. >> why do you think that gun control is now on the president agenda, so little was talked in the run-up to the election. >> and president obama was a strong advocate on the second amendment and as you know, illinois has the most, i believe, unconstitutional laws in the country. they don't allow any right to bear arms and before the debate he said he wanted to pursue the so-called assault

weapons ban. fbi law enforcement says it doesn't reduce crime. we don't need it anymore, it bans guns that look scary and the president wants to renew that and also said that he was going to, was supporting a u.n. treaty on arms, which just hours after he was elected and at the united nations signed and that does not recognize the right 0 keep and bear arms and the united states would be signing on to a worldwide treaty with countries like syria and iran, in which would water down our right to bare arms. >> i noticed there was a spike in gun sales after the election, why is that? >> well, because of those things and president obama's history and the first term of regulations and executive orders, things like that to try to restrict guns, so, people are want to get guns and may be restricted and worried about government

having guns and they reported that black friday was the single biggest sale of firearms in the history this have country and november was the single biggest for gun sales. >> mike: over the last 11 months in this country a new study came out. 2.5 million times in in country over the last 11 months, crimes have been prevented because of guns. >> where does the anti-gun group get it wrong? >> it was exactly, bob costas said. i think he actually said on this network, that guns always make situations more dangerous and saying things like that is just factually incorrect. and there are 30,000 people possibly every year killed with a firearm and exactly like you said, mike, 2 1/2 million times a year, people use the the guns to prevent crime. so the reason is that firearms deterrent and we've seen the lowest crime rate in the country now, and gun ownership

at the highest rate. 47% of american households report to have a gun and admit it and let the polesters know: accidental firearm mistakes are at their lowest in the history of this country. bob costas and the anti-gun people are spouting off incorrect things and you know-- >> and i've heard quite a few people say after his remarks, if belcher's girlfriend had a gun maybe she wouldn't be dead. good to see you. >> thanks, mike, thank you. >> mike: after the break here, then, 90-year-old statue has been hailed as a priceless piece of public art and now it may be moved because feminist groups say it may be offensive. that guy is standing on a woman. well, maybe not. superstorm sandy may have devastated the town, but our next guest making sure that

aggressive. >> mike: a nongift? what is a nongift? >> not giving anyone a gift or providing some thing that really isn't a gift, you claim it as a gift. >> alisyn: if you and your husband give each other like a frying pan, you know your house needs it, that's not really a gift for the other person. >> i know a woman friend of mine who wants a vacuum cleaner she saw on tv. and. >> dyson thing. >> mike: dyson, that's it. but if you gave a dyson to someone, a loved one, wouldn't they be. >> clayton: that's a statement gift telling your house is a mess. >> alisyn: your least favorite gift ever, you can find us here, we're usually on twitter. friends@foxnews.com. >> clayton: the call to the hospital of kate middleton started off as a prank. >> and how may i help you. >> hello i'm asking after my granddaughter kate. i want to see how her tummy bug is going.

selling a house short of what you owe on it, not back to the bank. >> yes, so short sales you have a distressed home owner rather than going through the process of foreclosure, the bank essentially taking that property. it's better option for all involved. underwater home owner sell straight to another lender and their principal on that mortgage is for given so they don't see the hammering to their credit, and the neighborhood is not hammered because the sale is much higher, and usually, than a bank-owned foreclosure sale and the bank doesn't have to put more property on. >> so it's better all around in a foreclosure than a bankruptcy, but we've been talking about the fiscal cliff and this is framed around that point, in the new year, with the bush year tax cuts expire, there's a housing tax cut that's going to expire-- this is where we got with the bubble. could we be headed back there. explain what housing is going to expire.

>> this is called the mortgage debt relief act. put in place in 2007. distressed home owners selling in a short sales. that principal has been forgiven, maybe they sold for $100,000, and maybe it was 150,000, the 50,000 they don't have to pay taxes on it. with this act expiring that means they're going to have to pay taxes. this is staggering, the average short sale looking at about $95,000 is lost when a short sale happens and looking at the taxes if this cut is expired. people owe as much as $33,000 on principal balance that nobody is recouping. >> the government says we need the revenue. will it bring revenue. >> technically 1.3 billion dollars in revenue not very much. i think the the implications of-- 1.3 billion dollars versus what this could do to the housing market, actually to the economy as a whole, i

don't think there's a comparison. >> clayton: yesterday, 4.8 billion, the government is spending, borrowing already. 1 billion as opposed to 4 per day. and how will it effect home owners less likely to buy homes, less likely to sell the home and stuck underwater and affect their credit with the tax cut expiring? >> there's huge implications, 14 million home owners underwater on their homes and 4 million homes already in the default process and short sales have been making up. home sales in general and distressed real estate. 40% of the sales and half has been short sales. by letting this tax cut expire you deincentivizes the process and we're going to see home prices come down if that happens and a lot of negative impact on the housing market. >> blight perhaps in other neighborhoods that affect

someone who may stay in the neighborhood. >> great to see you and we'll certainly being keeping our eye on the mortgage forgiveness debt relief act. >> thanks for asking hee. >> clayton: a prank call to kate middleton's nurse ends in suicide. and dr. keith ablow is here to explain. and michigan will soon be a right to work state. will others follow? this holiday, share everything. share "not even close." share "you owe me..." share "just right." the share everything plan. shareable data across 10 devices with uimited talk and text. by htc for $49.99.

>> the british nurse to received a prank call by an australia radio station asking for information on william's wife kate was found dead apparently from suicide.

is the public humiliation to blame for this tragedy. a member of the fox medical a-team, hi, dr. ablow. >> good morning, ally. >> alisyn: there are so many questions what exactly what went wrong that led to this nurse's suicide, but it seems obvious that if this were just a simple prank call where no one was any the wiser after this prank was perpetrated, that would be one thing, but the fact that this reached international level of public humiliati humiliation, that that is probably what turned the tide for in nurse, do you agree? >> well, i agree it could be that she was embarrassed and felt humiliated because of the scale of the reaction of the call. if this event preceded her suicide tragically, then, it has to be that there was a preexisting condition, psychologically, that would lead her to take this event,

this much to heart. >> alisyn: but, dr. ablow. >> that she wouldn't be able to live any further. most people would not have that reaction. >> alisyn: you say that, dr. ablow, but we've sadly seen other tragic cases of this. i think of tyler clemente, his roommate busting him in a sexual encounter and that happens every day, but he killed himself because it was put on the internet. there's something about public humiliation that ratchets up the shame so much more. >> i agree that public humiliation could be incredibly painful to people and the rutgers event was many more humiliating, somebody having sex in a video and somebody whose sexual orientation was not before known to everyone and now it's broadcast before he necessarily wanted it to be known. >> alisyn: you don't see a parallel? >> not nearly at that level.

and again, pranks are committed all the time. we have reality shows in in country where the pranks are much more serious and the people then say, oh, go ahead, broadcast it, it doesn't bother me at all. >> alisyn: doctor. >> if this nurse took her life it isn't because of this call, but the call could have stimulate add woman who was psychologically very vulnerable and that's sad, a deplorable act. >> alisyn: let me quickly read what the hospital has said in a letter to the radio station, it was extremely foolish for your presenters who try to lie through it one of the patience let alone to make the call and discover not only had that happened, but the call had been pre-recorded and the decision to transmit approved by your station's management was truly appalling. dr. ablow, we have to leave it there, but we always appreciate your professional opinion. >> thanks, ali. >> alisyn: a brand new reality show makes the jersey shore

herridge foundation, and that's a long title. welcome to the program. >> thanks for having me on. >> mike: don't we pay enough already to the u.n., the united states? >> well, especially you need to consider how much you're actually talking about here. talking about almost 2% of global gdp, which is over a trillion dollars and that could end up costing the united states a significant part of its own economy and millions of jobs. so, this is a very serious decision not only in terms of what to do about the world, but very much in terms of what the impact of this is going to be on the united states economy, and jobs. especially in this down turn of the economy. >> right, and you know, the united states and other industriallized countries have taken great efforts to minimize the amount of air pollution which could be leading to global warming or not the. and they have regulations in place. if the-- i would argue the unindustrialized world, some of the third world countries and countries that have more amounts of pollutants and don't have the environmental regulations that other parts

of the industriallized world would do, is that wrong? >> well, the rapidly developing countries in the developing world, china and india in particular are actually the source of most of the increasing greenhouse fasts that we've seen in recent years and the united states is at a level of greenhouse gas emissions it hasn't been at in over a decade. so, partially due to our own repressed economy, but partialingly due to the fact that you're talking about regulations and alternative fuels, the u.s. economy and other industriallized economies have actually seen their emissions stabilize or even fall over the past decade. >> yeah, and china, they're a big polluter. i mean, if you go into a store and you break something, you pay for it. so, if we can prove that a country is a big polluter, why shouldn't they pay? >> the problem is that even if the united states, all the other stilllized countries complied with what the secretary-general was talking about, it actually wouldn't do anything in terms of greenhouse gas emissions because the growth in the

greenhouse gas emissions is coming with the developing world and it would be almost symbolic gesture in terms of global warming which is their theory and do nothing in terms of actually arresting the cause of global warming they attribute to greenhouse gas activity. >> what do you think causes global warming? >> i think it's a very complicated issue, when you take a look at what the u.n. models that are projecting global warming do, when they use them to project climate, they can't replicate past climate. and using those models to project forward, it raises questions how reliable they are. >> or the u.n. accounting, how reliable that is. and we've got to leave it there and a fascinating insight. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me on, i

day that she had a performance, i contacted my wife and asked her to get with the school so maybe we could make this work it out and the school was great, and the wife was great, teacher was great and they did the coordination, all i had to do is show up. >> alisyn: and you also had to duck down anytime they turned the lights on, you had to hide in the back and tell us about this moment. what was going through your mind when you saw your dad there? >> i honestly was just very surprised, very shocked. he kept telling me he wasn't going to be home for a little bit longer, a little bit longer, and so i was really upset he was going to miss it and when my teacher was talking and see my dad start walking up, i lost it, i couldn't control it. >> alisyn: oh, and i mean, your dad was going to miss your school play, obviously, that's a big milestone, but your dad i'm sure has missed a lot of milestone, as you said, it's your fifth deployment. what's it like for you as a

>> welcome back, a little way from three weeks away from falling off that fiscal cliff. while the president says it can be avoided is it willing to compromise on the tax cuts for the rich? is a plunge inevitable or can we prevent it. >> mike: joining us from washington d.c., chris wallace. >> hey, guys. >> mike: chris, answer the question with 23 days left. what's going to happen? >> well, you know, i have to say, mike, that as time has gone on and as we've seen a distinct lack of progress i'm growing increasingly pessimistic, couple of weeks ago, you would say it's so

crazy and they've got the to make a deal eventually and i would assume they'll reach a compromise to raise some revenue and cut some spending, reform some entitlements to avoid this bad situation which we're calling the fiscal cliff, when you have automatic tax increases and spending cuts, but as we, you know, the time goes, it's been three weeks since the election, i'm growing increasingly pessimistic. >> we're been talking about it on the show, chris, and brought up a couple of times that the president, if he does nothing, the tax cuts expire, and the defense cuts go into place, which is largely what the democrats want to have happened and republicans now making the argument. perhaps the president is not going to negotiate because he wants to simply step back and want things to unfold. do you buy that. i think he does want to compromise because if this were to go on long enough. i don't think it happens the first week after the fiscal cliff, but if you continue with this and all of the things that happen, all of the

bush tax cuts expire, not only on the rich, but also the middle class, the spending cuts, about 100 million in the first year, you could grow according to the congressional budget office or unemployment back over 9% and the president clearly doesn't want that, but you're right the fact that the bush tax cuts on the rich expires, if nothing happens gives a lot of leverage, not like the republicans had a lot of bargaining. >> i don't know if you heard the same thing that i did, in his weekly address. the president sounding more firm about that $250,000 number than we had known because he always said that number, $250,000 and taxes he wanted to raise above that for house olds, but then there was times when joe biden says maybe a ll or a time the president said now is not the time in a recession to raise taxes on anybody, so it sounded like that might be a point of compromise, but yesterday he said on this i will not budge. >> i don't think he's going to

budge on that for another reason. first of all, he did campaign on it and win on it. i mean, he talked about raising taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year. the top 2%, you can argue whether that's good for the economy or bad for the economy. he won so he sees it as something of a mandate. in addition to which, i don't think that they can get enough money, they need, he says, 1.6 trillion and i think it's going to be certainly, north of a trillion dollars in new revenue to accomplish a big budget deficit reduction, and you can't do that unless you start at about 250,000. i think there might be promise not to go up in the clinton tax rate of maybe 37 something like that, but on the 250, i don't think there's much budge. >> mike: schumer, cork her and wallace, not a law firm, but on your show today. >> we're going to be talking with charles schumer of new york state he's of course one

of the leading liberal democrats and bob corker conservative republicans, maybe they can figure out the basis of a deal and the other thing we're going to look at, very concerning and that of course is syria, growing concerns that assad as the noose begins to tighten is going to use chemical weapons against his own people. and we'll talk to the israeli ambassador to the u.s. and if anybody is interested in the possible use of chemical weapons in syria it's the people across the border in israel. >> clayton: that's fox news sunday today, must-see television. thanks, chris, always great to see you on a sunday. >> alisyn: thanks, chris. >> bye, guys. >> mike: is there such a thing as a free lunch? 30 million dollars in taxpayer dollars were supposed to help kids affected by big hurricane sandy. instead, all of new york city's kids are now eating free. >> alisyn: then, is it time to sack the gangnam style? this dancer, you know him international sensation, he's

president? mother of mark alan lee, the first navy seal killed in iraq and mighty warriors, debby lee joins us this morning. thank you for coming on our show this morning to talk about this. >> you bet, thank you so much for having me. >> clayton: when you first heard about this white house christmas special going to be airing on tnt. four days before christmas and the president will be in attendance. what was your response? >> i was disgusted. to know that an individual who had called, as you said, for the slow and painful death of our troops and their families, is in a place of honor and performing before our president was just disgusting to me. how do we allow that to happen and how do we choose those as role models that get that honor? this is someone that should be on a no-fly list or a terrorist watch list for saying the things that he said. it's just disgusting to me. >> and debby, we can't repeat the things that he said this morning, they're too vile and

violent, having said that, this was eight years ago, he says that he was, at the time expressing his anti-war sentiment and he didn't write the lyrics, he was singing them along with the it group that wrote them. let me read the apology. >> grateful for the freedom to express themselves i have since learned what language is appropriate. i will be forever sorry for any pain i've caused anyone by those words and it sounds like his position has evolved. >> you know, my issue with this, this was years ago he did this. why all of a sudden the day before yesterday is he putting out this apology because he knows that this could jeopardize his career and his sales in america. to me, again, that's just another marketing ploy. i don't see any value in it that many years later. that he's doing this, it's just to protect his career and his sales in america.

>> and my reaction, yesterday was the first time that we learned about this. i mean, i don't think that most people knew that this song existed until maybe a few days ago. and what do you want to have happen now? now that the white house is aware of it, now that tnt and turner broadcasting is aware of that christmas special. what do you want them to do? >> he needs to be pulled from the program. i spent two hours last night trying to get through to the white house and had a busy signal for two hours i could not get throughout. there was a petition that was posted by kristin taylor on saturday, about ten o'clock in the morning, getting people to sign, to have him removed from that concert. and five hours after that was up on "we the people" on our white house website, it was removed because it didn't fit the scope of the petitions on there. and again, for me, this is just our president and again, who doesn't want to hear from americans. he doesn't support our troops. and it just disgusts me that this continues to happen. our men and women are going to

sacrifice their lives for you, for me, for the freedoms na we enjoy every single day, just as my son did. and then, we have someone like this individual who has called for the murder of our troops and our families, being in a place of honor, that's disgusting and our white house needs to listen to us and need to remove him from that program. >> and of course, lost in all of this debate are the sacrifices that people like your son paid. can you tell us a little about mark? >> you bet. an amazing young man, that young man stood out in the line of fire three different times the day he was killed, defending his teammates and freedoms that we enjoy in america, he was 28 years old when he gave his life. a man with a great sense of humor and lots of compassion and impacted so many lives and he wrote a letter two weeks before he was killed that literally impacted millions and millions around the world and that's who he is. that's his character, he's been gone for six years and

still impacting people all over the world and i miss him very much, especially at the highlights, that's a difficult time. but i know at the holidays, we've got troops that are serving that are, you know, some giving their lives for you and me today and we need to make sure we don't forget our troops and don't forget their families and especially the families of the fallen. >> debby lee, we honor yo sacrifice and all the brave men and women serving the country during this christmas holiday as well. thank you for sharing your story. >> you bet. merry christmas to our troops and their families. >> still ahead, are the evens to if a seeing and depression in your head? our next guest has a break through technique that helps thousands of people. >> we've got the six gifts you should never give to anyone this holiday season. get out your pen and pad of paper. we'll be right back.

>> and doing a mashup. and there is our beautiful plaza decorated. >> clayton: and dean martin and martina mcbride. >> alisyn: modern science. >> clayton: welcome back to "fox & friends" this sunday and hope you're gearing up for a great christmas holiday and hope maybe you've gotten shopping done. and perhaps you haven't. we need to pay attention to this we've been talking throughout the show about the six gifts you should never give anyone, the gift that's all about me, like a photo of yourself or the book you hope you'll read because they're not going to read it. a pre gifting gift, also. >> trying to show off gift. >> aren't i cool. >> a gift that sends a message. >> like here is a gym membership. >> right. >> alisyn: so you shared with us, some of the worst gifts you've gotten and given. this is from michael in ohio, my wife wanted a storm door and like an idiot, i got her

what i wanted, men are so stupid. >> clayton: michael, this is the problem, we're told we need to listen to our wives and women. >> alisyn: not when we say we want an appliance. and not when-- >> and a vacuum. when you say, honey, i want a vacuum. >> alisyn: not for christmas. a random day. >> and he goes out to target and buys you a vacuum and not only that, buys you the warranty. >> and my worst christmas gift was from my boyfriend of five years, i'm not talking about myself. >> good. >> i received a note that said, dinner of your choice written on a torn piece of notebook paper. to say the least, we broke up shortly after. >> iou. he was laterally running downstairs to exchange gifts and ripped off the note paper. >> alisyn: homemade gift is nice, but not on a scrap piece of paper. brenda, my mother in daughter gave my eight-year-old daughter a soap dish from her

bedroom because she forgot to buy her something and left the used soap in it. >> mike: that's the worst i have i think i've heard. >> clayton: and the worst was an open, half empty jar of salted peanuts. i've got one for you, i'll top that. we had a christmas party at my parents house when i was a kid and neighbors came and people from 40 miles away and spent the day and forward, all sorts of stuff. at the end of the night we're opening a gift and going through and i opened the gift. mom, this candle. nice, it's already been burned (laughter) >> and the wick was half down and souped up, where it was burned. and somebody grabbed a house candle and put it in a bag, here you go. >> mike: i admit i purchased a christmas gift in an airport. snow globe. >> alisyn: and then emblazoned with the name of the random city where you are? >> yeah, layover in minneapolis. >> nice, keep them coming and you can find us all on twitter

as well. here are your headlines. egyptian president morsi, giving up powers he gave himself. and the protests continue because he refuses to remove the islamist backed, and egypt warns that the consequences will be disastrous and it's preparing to tighten security. he says no such thing as a free lunch and the federal government giving new york city schools 30 million dollars to provide kids with free lunches throughout the end of the year. and it was supposed to help victims of super storm sandy, but made available to all students now and critics say it should be fixing homes rather than kids not affected by the storms and it leaves out long island and new jersey children also affected. would you mess with a 15 foot

python like this for just 1600 bucks? the florida fish and wild life conservation commission offering a cash prize to whoever kills the most pythons in the florida everglades. they hope the hunting will help the growing population and preserve the endangered species that they eat. >> clayton: do you get hazard pay. >> alisyn: contest starts january 12th. >> mike: i can see a history channel show. >> clayton: swamp men, python men. wif we've got sports. one of the greatest boxers knocked out in big fashion. and mitt romney was there. and manny pacquiao, trading shots and each fighter knocked town through the first five rounds and with one second left in the 6th, marquez landed a booming right that put pacquiao face first on the mat, and marquez wins by

knockout. the fourth time they've met up and with pacquiao 34, have we seen the last of the boxing legend. why would you box the guy power finals? eventually he'll get it right. >> mike: his name is packy ow! packy-ow!. >> clayton: he'll probably run for political office. >> mike: let's get out to our favorite m & m, maria molina. >> maria: that's cute. i like that nickname. it's starting to smell like rain in new york city and the clouds rolling in and winds picking up and colder, temperatures in the upper 40's, but it definitely feels like low 40's. we expect the rain to continue to pick up through the afternoon hours into the overnight and even continue for the start of your work week on monday, as we head westbound, things are much worse and colder, and looking at temperatures, high temperatures, that is, only in the teens, forecast across places like the dakotas, parts

of minnesota only temperatures into the 20's, a cold one and we have snow across portions of the midwest and keep that in mind. significant accumulations of over 6 inches of snow locally up to a foot of snow in portions of central minnesota so again, a lot of snow out here, please be careful if you're doing any driving and factor in the wind and we do have blizzard warnings in south dakota and western parts of the state of minnesota and they're going to blow around and not a good day to hit the roads out here. blizzard warnings throughout the day and in effect for the city of minneapolis. back to the studio. >> thanks, maria. >> we're going to talk about the big five and when you're feeling under the weather, chances are you're headed straight to the doctor's office, but overall medical diagnosis is easier said than done. especially when it comes to your mental health. >> clayton: saying that about mike for years. could medical doctors even tell exactly what's going on

inside of your head? our next guest says he has a break through technique and he's here to share it. >> and it's helped thousands of people reclaim the individual wellness and the doctor joins us now to explain. great to have you. >> thank you, doctor. >> so you have a very newfangled nutrition plan and you have to sort of see into people's brains and their brain chemistry where you can figure out how to fix their fatigue and nutrition problems, how do you that that? >> it's like an x-ray for a broken bone and we're able to take a map or what i kind a mind map of the brain chemistry in action. >> how do you do that a year in the brain. >> from a urine sample and measures the dopamine and seratonin and from that in the brain. >> clayton: let's look at the big five, you're looking for fat deposits or-- >> when people's brain chemicals are low, they crave

sugar, carbs and overeat. >> and if one of the chemicals is low we hear when people have a lack of sleep they tend to overeat and when the main is functioning, with the chemicals, chowdown. if you're not sleeping enough and chemical levels drop and the work that i do involves the lab tests and calibrate the chemicals and bring them back up. >> mike: i have belly fat, tired all the time. depressed, my hormones are going crazy and i have gas. >> alisyn: it's not pretty. >> all of the big five. >> mike: i'm a mess, a mess. >> this is the american population. >> clayton: so you want me go pee in a cup and what are you going to determine from that. >> take some amino acid supplements and pee in a cup and we customize the program and recalibrate it. >> clayton: what does the program look like. if you've got mike's issues, all five. how do you then, first of all, assess it and we don't know the end result, but what sorts

of things are you then giving him to balance those things out. >> simple, two amino acids, and don't try it on your own, you wouldn't want to try it on your own, but if you test accurately. you can-- get the right amount. >> mike: it's a pill. >> a natural supplement. >> alisyn: can't just eating better find the amino acid in your diet. >> i don't think that people can. if you look what people are eating and how stressed we are. i think we've passed the point where people sort this out on their own. and that's why 60% of the population is overweight. >> mike: it's almost like an mri, mapping the mind. >> the mri maps the structures of the brain, but this is the chemicals in the brain. >> kalish method. >> kalish. >> alisyn: it's a memory problem.

across the dakotas, nebraska, 70 in rapid city, 20 in denver and 31 in minneapolis. the cold air that's been bottled up in canada is sinking southward and we're seeing winter weather in the middle east. the southeast, still very warm, upper 60s new orleans and through the rest of the southeast. temperatures make it into the 80s this afternoon across the city of tampa. so a beautiful day across florida where warm temperatures but rapid city, 14 degrees. 32 the high in minneapolis. new york city, a high not too bad, 47. it's going to be warmer tomorrow but eventually that cold air will make it into the northeast as we head into next week. snow accumulation in the midwest, over 6 inches of snow for some spots, especially central minnesota. overall you're seeing higher accumulations in south dakota,

central minnesota and the state of wisconsin. we'll to know to see the snowfall through the day. with the wind, we have blizzard conditions in south dakota and minnesota. a winter storm warning for minneapolis, gusts over 40 miles an hour here with whiteout conditions. southbound, two warm for snow but we could see severe weather in eastern texas into western tennessee. >> thanks, maraia. >> because we have only a short time left, 23 days, there's the countdown, the president says he can avoid the fiscal cliff. we have to have compromise but he says it's all on the republicans, which is odd because the president put forth $1.6 trillion in tax increases which was laughed at by mitch mcconnell. then the republicans came back, which speaker boehner said was a sound response.

$800 billion in tax rev knew. with eric cantor and paul ryan's significant but positive -- >> congress can prevent all of this by passing a tax hike on the first $250,000 of income. 98% wouldn't see taxes go up by a single dime. the wealthiest americans would get a tax cut on the first $250,000 of their income and families everywhere would enjoy peace of mind. >> most polls show 60, 60% of americans agree, raise taxes on the wealthiest 2%. he won the election. >> he talked about that during the campaign however congressman randy forms of virginia, a republican, he's floating a theory which is that the president doesn't have to

compromise. he might not even want to compromise because if there's no compromise, the president gets what he wants. >> the president doesn't really want to get an agreement or compromise. he wants to get his way. that's why he won't come to the table with any serious proposal and simply talk. if we do that, we can get a solution everybody could live with. we're willing to sit down and talk about these ideas and principles but where's the president? the american people can hear what they're putting on the table. >> i tend to agree with him. at least in part, which is that the president could just sit on his hands and allow the bush tax cuts to expire like they would without negotiating. also, defense cuts go into place because of sequestration. >> chris wallace shot that theory down saying the president wants to compromise because if

not, the other tax increases go into place. not just the wealthiest americans. >> the cbo says if the fiscal cliff happens it would plunge the country back into recession and no president wants to preside over a recession. they're going to have to figure out some compromise, even though the president, this weekend, says he's firm on the $250,000 high water mark. above that you're payingigher taxes. if that's the deal breaker -- >> that's all public speaking. some numbers can be massaged, putting it in mike's terms, massaged a certain way. they won't necessarily go back to the bush era or the clinton era 39.7%. it could go to 37% or it could be an increase. >> or change that 250 to $500,000. bill clinton --

>> even biden said a million dollars. a slip of the tongue. >> but does that help? if you look to california as a mini country, a barometer, what happens when you raise taxes. >> the largest economy in the country. >> which they did. but the revenue doesn't show. look at it. it's down logical -- almost 11%. >> they have raised taxes on the highest wage earners and yet they have a shortfall of revenue. it's a tough one, how that happens. the argument is -- >> they don't pay property taxes. >> if you raise taxes, the republicans argument is if you raise taxes, they hire fewer people and take all sorts of -- the shortfall into effect and want to keep their profits. so they don't do the things they would do if they had that excess cash. >> the other would be to create

new taxpayers instead of new taxes. >> or as marco rubio talks about, increasing growth by fostering government and businesses to hire people. listen. >> we must reform our complicated, uncertain, job killing tax code by getting rid of loop hopes. the goal should be creating new taxpayers, not taxes. >> meanwhile, mtv continuing to try to make jobs for the -- >> for degenerates. >> for degenerates in west virginia. a new show called buck wild is causing a huge amount of controversy. it's replacing jersey shore. for other west virginiaians they don't think this represents their state. >> i lived there and never met

morons like this. >> jersey shore ran its course but it was so popular they decided to move it to west virginia but with the same debauchery. remember when chris christie was upset and wanted the show out of his state. the senator of west virginia wants the same idea, cancel it before it begins. he says instead of showcasing the beauty of our people and state, you preyed onioning people and coached them into displaying shameful behavior and you're profiting. >> i have a chip on my shoulder because of jersey shore because it makes new jersey people seem likewise. they're not from new jersey, so i understand joe's feeling. but would i tune in for a few minutes to check it out? >> of course you would.

the same reason people watch honey boo boo beautiful people want to feel better about themselves by watching morons. my point is i lived in west virginia, i lived in bluefield. nicest people i ever met and i didn't meet anyone close to those individuals. >> not representatives. >> my kansas jayhawks will play them for one of the first times in basketball. i'm going over. >> if you see one of these guys, take a photo. it's like big foot. i don't think they exist. >> talk about a generation of entitlements, it's more profitable to collect welfare at some level than earn a salary and you're footing the bill. more on that outraging next. >> it's no surprise people like to gossip but a new study finds it's not all bad. why water cooler can help you out at work. ♪ the weather outside is frightful ♪

>> welcome back. 17 million homes live below the poverty line last year. despite the fact federal welfare spending is over $1 trillion. if you thought that figure was upsetting, get ready. >> when it break it down it's more profitable to collect welfare than earn a salary. >> joining us, david weber, cofounder of tea party 365 and host of the david web show. a classic case of makers and takers. the argument right at its core. >> absolutely. it's an economic argument. when you have more people and think about the unemployment issue, if you can make $600 a week, use that number, and get that from the government vs.

$700 going to work, people say i'll take it from here. the problem is it takes money out of the economy. people are not producing, our productivity is at levels of 1980-81. look at it, it's a cultural thing. we've grown and entitlement culture and people say it's okay to get it rather than earn it. >> we had 83 different programs that spent $745 billion. the new analysis, welfare spending, the total amount given households is more than the income so $168 median forecast per day -- income per day. they're getting more from welfare than the other way. >> what's your incentive to go to work. people don't think, individualize it, the thought is i can get it here, why go work for it. when you have 110 million people

who are productive and 80 plus million who are on entitlements it's unsustainable. they say we're on an unseasonable tract. then a cbo analysis for 2013, we're almost $300 billion in the hole. that's our federal debt. we can't sustain this. this is an economic nightmare ahead of us. >> what do you think the majority, the percentages, people on welfare who really -- the majority don't want to be on it. >> that's hard to ascertain. that's what i don't like about political arguments. what -- how do you resolve the problem? don't worry about who likes it, cut the programs. you've got to get people back into the workforce. need to do that you have to grow jobs. the failure of this administration has been that money's been aapplied to a

predominantly growth in government. from june to november, 847,000 jobs. 620,000 of them were in federal, state, and local governments. that consumes wealth from the economy. >> we can't sustain it. >> it's enough -- unsustainable future. >> who wants to turn down that money that's handed to them. thanks so much. >> listen to this. more men say i'm never going to get married. women aren't women anymore. the author behind this claim is calling a truce on the war against men. >> he made heisman history. the first freshman ever to win the prestigious price. johnny football is here. that's the heisman trophy. i'm going to sit next to him and make dave briggs jealous.

it's been coined the war on men. our next guest op-ed, why men are retreating from marriage fueled a firestorm of controversy but she's calling a truce. >> susan banker, author of how to choose a husband and make peace with marriage is here. >> thanks for having me. >> you stirred up quite a bit of controversy. why are you deciding to call a truce on this whole issue? >> well, because that's really what it was about to begin with, honestly. that's what my work is about, what my writing does, is to just really try to turn around what's happened by saying you don't need to keep score between men

and women. i think that's unquestionably what has happened much the terms manning up, or keeping up with the so-called rise of women. all that is putting -- that's putting men and women -- pitting them against one another. i'm trying to say it doesn't need to be this way. what is the ultimate goal for most women? not all women but for most women, it's to get married and have kids. and how do we rectify that desire with this other desire we have to be independent beings that are supposedly as strong as men. you can rectify those things. you don't have to throw out the baby with the bath water. >> one of the recommendations you have given is let men be men. but what does that mean? >> right. it means that men and women are decidedly different creatures. you know, this whole idea of a quality being this -- that means sameness is just ridiculous.

they're not the same. you can be equal in worth and value and be definitely different. >> but specifically -- >> does that mean -- given the three hours, four hours, he wants to sit on the couch and watch football. >> that's what he hopes it means. >> please say yes. >> why not? >> here's what's wrong with that. i feel guilty. >> what about child care? >> my wife's running around covered in baby food. >> so only women can take care of the kids during that time? >> of course not. i never said such a thing. it's fine for men and women to change diapers and husband and wives to work. what i'm saying is there is a difference in the central core being of men and women in terms of one being more nurturing and one more inclined to provide and protect. that's why men are big. i like a big guy who makes you feel safe. you don't want to reverse that.

in order to honor that, you usurp the role or make it competitive. >> honoring the difference means what? how do you let the man be a man? >> well, let him pay the bill for example. let him decide -- let him chase you. let him date you. we've gotten away from traditional dating in this country. men want to chase, they want to find -- it's part of what it is, it's always been that way. let him make the decisions about where you're going for dinner and open the door or pay the bill no matter how successful you might be or how much money you have. let him do that. >> i'm totally cool with that. i'm cool with you paying the bill. notice mike's been quiet. >> he's trying to figure out what it's like to be a man.

>> steven. they say they're democrats, they sound like republicans. what's happening? >> this shows us that -- well, something we've known a while. if people voted what they believe and live, they would be more conservative but there's a stigma attached to been a republican. that's because of the administration, leftists, including the mainstream media and the is entertainment industry who are perpetuating stereotypes and lies and republicans are terrible at messaging. you see in that video, what about taxing the wealthy, yeah, that's great. where does super wealthy start, about a million or more. how about $250,000 a total family income, should they be in the highest bracket? no, no. they'll people know 250,000, say you live in manhattan, you have a few kids and a wife. get into an apartment that's too
